Paronicon 2 now has a fully functional API system built in. This system will allow you to control every aspect of Paronicon from any device, interface, application, or web server of your choice. The guides listed in this section will help you and guide you to the information necessary for you to be able to design your very own application to manage Paronicon.

The API was designed to be simple to use and easy to consume. This is why we have chosen a REST-like API structure. What this means for you, is that you simply need to build URLs with the proper parameters in them to talk to Paronicon 2 to get things done. So the overall flow is VERY simple:

Custom Application~>Build URL->Request URL->Get back XML or JSON->Process result

The API was build to have game host providers in mind as well. This means you can provide various accounts to people to have as much or as little control over the application and the server in it to each person you desire. A good example of this would be to have an account for your customer to manage the individual server aspects, but an admin account that would allow you to add/remove servers which could be tied to billing.

We think we have built a fairly full featured API and that it should allow you to do just about anything you can think of the Paronicon 2 can do from the GUI. If you think you see something missing, let us know!

As always, we will be here for support if you need anything and we will also be providing some example code, as well as publishing application that people design to be interfaced with Paronicon 2.

With this piece of the software and the advent of the plugin system coming very soon, you can turn Paronicon 2 into your own application building foundation. We hope you find this information useful, and let us know if you have any questions over in our support forums.
